THIS, THAT I
■ AND THE OTHER
• t lj
I
By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS
5L . I
Some of us have reached the place;
where we are not at all impressed by i
accounts of what other states have!
done or are doing in the way of spend-1
ing i üblic funds. To us the question;
of supreme importance is what North |
Carolina can afford to spend. This is !
no time to be making undue effort to
keep up with the neighbors. And this
is a*- true of slates as of individuals.
L Tin wind certainly bloweth where it
llisteth these days, and sometimes it
to blow into chimneys with so
much force that it is highly uncom
fortable so. the owners and users of
said chimneys.
At more or less frequent intervals
1 hear young persons gravely discuss- j
ing prohibition, and its failure. They
solemnly assert that there is mori
drinking now than there has ever been ,
in our history. I do not question theii
sincerity, nor have I incontrovertible
proof that they are wrong in theii
contention.- The thing I can’t under-;
stand is how much more carefu' j
drunken folks must be than when 1 |
v,as younger—before prohibition days j
Then my mother was afraid to let twe ,
of us little girls go to the postoffice j
because we would have to pass a sa- J
loon where there was always drunk
enness. We knew what i* meant ti
see m ,1 “dead drunk” sprawled on’ ,
beside the road, or even to have one
stagger to our door in the night, lost ,
- and in danger of freezing. And w
knew how our father, himself a fer- 1
vent worker for temperance, would go
’ ..ut in the dark to lead the wanderer
! home, or to make him a bed in the |
barn until morning. Now, though 1
live in a community far more thickly |
settled. 1 do not see such cases once a ;
year. It is lather strange, if there real-,
Ty more drinking than ever before
Tb.. Heme Demonstration Club is
n w studying the management of
| time, and we are trying to arrange j
kitchens so as to saw as much,
HtP,,. and strength as possible m prep- j
atimi of meals. It is (suit. interest
r ing and frequently enlightening. Tha* j
is, if we are not like a little girl '
knew who said when t M how she
miglu wash dishes and no* waste mo
tion: “Well, they’re mv motions, and j
. it' 1 choose to waste a few of them, 1
i don’t se, why othet folks should wor
ry."
Have vou noticed how. in spite o*
the weather, plum trees are beginnin
to bloom and buds a>-p showing pink
on the peach trees? Os course the
chances are they’ll he killed, but theii
a \*erv brave'".' commands our adnura
1 t'o’i. And hav-' the early daffodils and
jonq-'ils ever been lovelier?
I F. D. Finch made a fine talk to thi
* members of the Civics Department ot 1
, the Woman’s Club last week. I am
closing this column with his conclud
" ing paragraph. Read it. It sounds
well, but tiu re is a lot more to it than
mere sound. To me it seems a mighty
good platform for a young lawyer tc
stand upon.
“Government exists for the protec
tion and preservation of society, and
we owe to it our loyalty and obedience
Polities it seems has always played ;
big- part in Government. I am not sure
1 that we could operate the Governnion
,1 without politics. But -politics seem-,
'• to be gaining; and Government l >sinu
ground. We are placing party before
government; it seems to be party firs
and then Government. This conditior
mav prevail, but 1 think only t mpo
varily. for it mu ■ ultimately fail. For
-after all, Government is w> mere noi
1 less than the personalities who fil 1
its offices of honor and trust, and it
we fail in the selection of the propei
man or woman to fill the* office, th<
Government- our Government —is t<
suffer to a corresponding degree. Fo'
. the protection of posterity—our chd
(Iren, we should seriously consider thi
duty which is with us now.”

spend in exulting over the departing
glory of a fallen foe, yet one is forced
t,, observe that a Republican exodus
is in order. Thera is no place of use
fulness to- a party that cannot “dis

Disarmament is getting its share ot
attention from pi aliment men. Mr
Roosevelt is said to.be ready to carry
out Piesid at Hoover’s plans in that
i irection, and over in Germany, Mr
Hitler, the leader of the hour, thmki
tliat the world has had battle a-plenty
and that something should be done
about it. Speaking of disarming, it is
too bad that the gun-artist who se
. ted the incoming President as :ij
j target, could not have been strippeo j
[of his weapons before he had oppor-J
tnnity to use them. Mayor (Yrmak j

Roosevelt. is a gritty and cons ch eat* I
